Marathon Oil Has Balls

And hairy ones at that.

While watching Keith Olbermann I saw an ad for Marathon Oil promising 7.5 million gallons of "clean" oil by 2010.

Oh.

That's supposed to make us feel better how, exactly, in the era of prices clawing at the $4.00 per gallon level? Considering we currently consume over 20 million barrels per day. Do the math: 7.5 million gallons would hardly satisfy the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. And define "clean." Inquiring minds want to know.

That smell you smell? It's marketing bullshit.
